Making a game inspired by Enemy Territory

Hi everyone! It's great to see the love that so many people still have for this game. I'm part of a small indie team working on a game inspired by Enemy Territory, in particular the team/objective based gameplay. I've seen a few posts by people looking for games inspired by ET so I hope it's okay if I share ours here. Our twist on the formula is the inclusion of time manipulating powers.

We'd love to get some feedback from genuine ET fans and would be so grateful if any of you are interested!

You can view our trailer here: TimeQuake Announcement Trailer - YouTube

And join our Discord here for a chance to take part in playtests and to learn more about the game: https://discord.gg/3qTjdySYRJ

Please feel free to reach out with any questions and go ahead and remove this post if it breaks any rules.

Thank you!

very active player way back in the day, not so much nowadays. But would love a new game like the good old ET

Thing that ive always loved about ET was

\- the basic good (allies) vs bad (axis) at war setting

\- objective based gameplay !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

\- teamwork is key

\- No hide to recover HP mechanic, call a medic or get fucked

\- A limit on heavy weapons/ Fops

\- Diverse classes that actually do what they are called

\- basic boots on the ground gameplay

Trailer looked cool but not for me when i think of a new ET type game, all i saw was alot of explosions and pretty colours flying across the screen.

ill check it on steam and keep an eye out, GL with your game

Thanks very much for taking the time to give your input, it's really appreciated. We really want to adapt the game to community feedback, so stuff like this is invaluable. The trailer is a tiny slice based on an early build, so many changes and additions are currently a work in progress. If you ever have any interest in trying out a build either feel free to join the Discord or let me know here.

Thanks so much again, means a lot to a small team.

We’ll never see a game like ET again-

Hoards of enemies smashing into each other every 20 seconds until the mission gets done

I would add

\- movement
for example strafing down the road on goldrush felt amazing (even when it was limitation or bug of quake engine iirc)

\- ttk
loved that you had to land multiple HS to kill and it didn't felt spongy. ding ding ding

\- and in retrospect from current games -> no special abilities. Just roles with purpose

good points, bunny hopping felt smooth and nice

the headshots and overall TTK were really satisfying

also your final point is what would be a make or break deal for me

Going to get sued for the name alone lol

Thanks very much for your comments! If you're interested in our game at all (even if you just want to tell us what's wrong with it... in a civil manner) consider joining the Discord :)

Of course we'll never replace the game or be the same thing, we wouldn't be able to! Just hoping to capture even a tiny bit of what made the game special.

Haha, we're all good on that front, appreciate the free legal advice though :P

Can you explain more about the team / objective gameplay in your game? I didn’t really get much from watching the trailer.

For sure, we have a "missions, not matches" philosophy for the game where each round can only be won by the team which is working better together to play the objective. We have a wide variety of varied, objective based modes. Can't communicate too many specifics at this stage but we'll be sharing more soon. If you join our Discord you'll get the opportunity to play the game in the near future and we'll definitely be very receptive to feedback.

Nice!

My man, this doesn't look like it was inspired by Enemy Territory at all.

Maybe ET: Quake Wars a bit?

Appreciate your input! The visual style and setting are very different but the core design of our maps and modes is inspired by ET, and you're right, also by subsequent Splash Damage games.
